Based on the electromagnetic spectrum, the accurate statement is:

An X-ray wave exhibits a frequency greater than that of an infrared wave.

Here's a brief explanation of why the other statements are incorrect:

  • A radio wave possesses lower energy compared to a microwave, not greater.
  • An ultraviolet wave possesses higher energy than an infrared wave, not lower.
  • A radio wave features a wavelength that is longer than that of a gamma ray wave, not shorter.

Thus, the correct answer is the statement about X-rays and infrared waves.
